Problem statement
How might user experience and operational processes around the spatial viewer be improved to reduce confusion and increase optimisation?
Scope
This will involve exploring factors such as:
- Helping applicants interpret complicated planning documents and rules more easily.
- Improving the quality of applications by reducing the need for manual data entry and automatically using available spatial data to fill in key details.
- Simplifying the look and feel of the special viewer.
- Making it easier and more efficient for councils to share maps and location data with the Department.
Please note that the scope may be adjusted. Any changes will be communicated accordingly.
